The high profile show of the moment and marketed that way is the Black Clover anime adaptation, which Crunchyroll has been doing the simulcast for. They’re doing some new promotion for the show with a look at the 128th episode with a two-minute subtitled clip. This episode has the Black Bulls and Mimosa on a trip where not everyone is quite feeling things right.

The show has Cris George directing based on the scripts from Bonny Clinkenbeard and the main cast includes Dallas Reid as Asta and Micah Solusod as Yuno.

Tatsuya Yoshihara, who recently directed Monster Musume and Long Riders, is on board to direct based on the series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu. Itsuki Takeda is working on the main character designs with Kumiko Tokunaga as the sub-character designer.

The manga comes from Yuki Tabata which began in February 2015 and has thirteen volumes released so far. Viz Media is releasing it here in compiled volumes as well as part of the Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine.

Plot Concept: In a world where magic is everything, Asta and Yuno are both found abandoned at a church on the same day. While Yuno is gifted with exceptional magical powers, Asta is the only one in this world without any. At the age of fifteen, both receive grimoires, magic books that amplify their holder’s magic. Asta’s is a rare Grimoire of Anti-Magic that negates and repels his opponent’s spells. Being opposite but good rivals, Yuno and Asta are ready for the hardest of challenges to achieve their common dream: to be the Wizard King. Giving up is never an option!
